The first time an anime fan watches a juggernaut series like Naruto, they want to know the essentials of how each character functions, such as their best ninjutsu, their motives, and their relationships to other people. Later, a fan may wonder about the more intimidate, mundane details of these characters to make those characters feel better-rounded. This can add a whole new dimension to the characters of Naruto, who are defined by more than their jutsu and cool outfits.
That's why dedicated anime fans enjoy learning the simpler personal details of their favorite characters and humanize them a little more. This ranges from the characters' height and weight to their favorite foods, their hobbies, and even their birthdays and the zodiac signs they were born under. The most devoted Naruto fans already know those details about their favorite heroes, so now they can learn more about the best Naruto villains, too.
10 Itachi Uchiha
At first, Naruto fans mostly identified Itachi Uchiha in terms of killing his entire clan and being a powerful member of the Akatsuki, but later story arcs in Naruto Shippuden humanized him a great deal. He was actually an anti-villain who did what he needed to protect the Hidden Leaf Village, and he was a good person all along.
Fans can add even more warmth to this character with facts such as his birthday and his height. Itachi was born on June 9th, making him a Gemini, the air sign represented by twins. Geminis are known for leisurely moving from one project to another as whimsically busy people. Itachi's height is 178 cm in Shippuden, making him a full 10 inches taller than his brother Sasuke at the time.
9 Deidara
Deidara is the explosives expert of the Akatsuki organization, blending fire and earth release to create something entirely new. He personally captured Gaara early in Shippuden, but then he tangled with Sasuke Uchiha and lost, even dying in vain as he blew himself up.
Not much is known about Deidara's personal life, except that he's one of the younger Akatsuki members and has strong views on art. According to official data, Deidara is a somewhat short fellow at 166 centimeters, a bit shorter than 15-year-old Sasuke, and he was born on May 5th. That makes Deidara a Taurus, an earth sign represented by a bull.
8 Zabuza Momochi
Zabuza Momochi was the first noteworthy villain to appear in the Naruto anime, serving as the main antagonist in the Land of Waves arc alongside his sidekick, Haku. Little is known of Zabuza's backstory or personal life, and that makes him enticingly mysterious and eerie.
Still, fans want to know the basics about Zabuza, and there's plenty to learn. He's a moderately tall man at 183 centimeters, though he looked even taller compared to Team 7's 12-year-old members. Zabuza's birthday is August 15th, meaning he was born under the fire sign Leo, an attention-seeking and proud sign.
7 Gaara of the Sand
When he was introduced in the Chunin Exam arc, Gaara of the Sand was a cold-blooded villain who killed people with his sand jutsu for fun. He was a formidable threat to Rock Lee and Team 7, but after Naruto Uzumaki used the talk jutsu, Gaara began the process of redemption and returned a hero.
Gaara's date of birth is January 19th, so he was born under Capricorn the goat, an earth sign. Capricorn is known for its endurance and strong work ethic, though that idea actually runs counter to Gaara's "born genius" theme. Gaara is also of average height, standing at 166 cm in Naruto Shippuden, exactly Naruto Uzumaki's own height.
6 Madara Uchiha
Madara Uchiha was one of the greatest villains in not just Naruto Shippuden, but all of shonen anime. He was mainly defined by his quest to reform the world with his Infinite Tsukuyomi and fought the entire shinobi army single-handedly, though he was eventually betrayed by Black Zetsu for Kaguya's sake.
Madara Uchiha stood at average height for men in the Naruto world at 179 cm, just a bit taller than his descendant Itachi and taller than Sasuke as of Shippuden. Madara's birthday is December 24th, Christmas Eve, and that makes him a Capricorn. He is certainly not afraid to get his hands dirty as per his sign, though he relies more on overwhelming talent and jutsu than a good work ethic to succeed.
5 Pain (Yahiko)
The Six Paths of Pain was technically several people working under one identity, with Nagato controlling the entire Pain character with his Rinnegan. When Yahiko died, his body was eventually repurposed into the main body of Pain – making him the face of this multi-person identity.
Yahiko died at age 15, but he was fairly tall for his age, standing at 176.5 cm during the events of Naruto Shippuden, making him a full 10.5 centimeters taller than his ultimate opponent, Naruto Uzumaki. February 20th is Pain's birthday, thus his zodiac sign is Pisces the fish. This water sign represents selfless, sensitive people who can't stand cruelty or strife.
4 Haku
Haku was introduced as Zabuza Momochi's obedient sidekick, a rogue ninja who used his ice crystal mirror kekkei genkai to trap Zabuza's enemies and obliterate them. Haku even took a mortal blow for Zabuza during the final battle on Tazuna's bridge, which helped prompt a talk jutsu from Naruto. At least Haku died happy, content to be in service of his boss.
Haku was short for his age, being a 15-year-old in Part I who stood at a modest 156 cm, rounding up. He was born on January 9th, meaning he is one of several Capricorns among all Naruto villains. He is indeed responsible and disciplined like a Capricorn, but lacks this sign's unforgiving or condescending side.
3 Kimimaro Kaguya
Kimimaro Kaguya's sole appearance was in the Sasuke retrieval story arc in the manga, when he moved his dying body through sheer force of will to serve Orochimaru one last time. Kimimaro used his fearsome bone-based kekkei genkai against Naruto, Rock Lee, and Gaara, and he might have killed them if it weren't for his illness finally ending his life.
Kimimaro was a 15-year-old ninja during his time in Naruto with average physical stats, including his height at 166 cm. His birthday is June 15th, making him a Gemini, but he hardly acts like one. Instead of an air sign's whimsical creativity, Kimimaro embodies an earth sign's discipline and stubborn determination.
2 Obito Uchiha/Tobi
In his youth, Obito Uchiha was Kakashi's rival and dreamed of being Hokage, but fate dealt him a different hand. Obito nearly died, and then Madara Uchiha, found and rescued him. From there, Obito was slowly transformed into a villain, complete with his orange mask and Akatsuki robes, going by the code name Tobi.
Obito Uchiha was a man of average height in Naruto Shippuden, standing anywhere from 175 to 182 cm tall, according to official data. He was born on February 10th, meaning his zodiac sign is Aquarius, an air sign. Aquarius is as an altruistic, idealistic sign.
1 Orochimaru
Orochimaru the scientist ninja could transfer himself into new bodies, meaning his appearance and height could change from one story arc to another. Orochimaru was convinced that knowing all jutsu and pursuing forbidden science would make him immortal and shed all human weakness.
Orochimaru stood at different heights in Naruto, ranging from 172 to 179.5 cm tall in various circumstances. He was born on October 27th under the water sign Scorpio, a sign known for its resourceful, cunning ways and its habit of waiting before making the right move, hence its "sting."
